Breaking News… Ringo says “Ob-La-Da’ to Autographs!

Oh Ringo! Most of you I would hope are familiar with the great Ringo Starr. The reason that I can put this on the site is that not only is he an Ex-Beatle, but he has also been in quite a few movies, examples…Caveman, the made for TV Alice and Wonderland aka Alice Through The Looking Glass as the mock turtle, not to mention such Beatle-riffic films as HELP! and A Hard Days Night, and on several children’s shows… Such as Shining Time Station…

Ringo Starr has announced on his official web page www.ringostarr.com that he will no longer sign autographs. For years if you sent him pictures, objects, basically anything related to him, he would happily sign it! Due to being overwhelmed and his busy schedule he and his pen hand have decided to call it quits! Anything postmarked after the 20th will not be signed! On his website it even asks for people to stop sending fan mail! I have nothing but respect for Mr. Starr. The Beatles are possibly my favorite band in the universe. Having said that, I was really put off by his video. He could have easily said that he cannot meet the many requests that he receives, or that its time to finally retire his mail request autographs… instead, he says to NOT SEND HIM FAN MAIL ANYMORE! THAT HE WILL NOT SEND AUTOGRAPHS ANYMORE BECAUSE HE IS TOO BUSY!

So… If you really want a picture signed, you better send it before the 20th… The address that I have is

1541 Ocean Ave, Suite 200, Santa Monica, CA 90401

I still love you Ringo!
